Ingredients
- 3/4 cup blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3.5 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
Instructions
- Wash the blueberries. Transfer blueberries to a saucepan, add lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of sugar and salt and bring it to a boil.
- Allow it to simmer until the blueberries become soft, approx. 7-8 minutes.
- Transfer the blueberries to a food processor and puree. Then poor mixture into a bowl, through a sieve and press out all the liquids. You'll end up with a perfectly smooth blueberry puree. (NOTE 1)
- Cover bowl and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until puree is cold and slightly thicker.
- Whisk whipping cream with 1.5 tablespoons of sugar until soft peaks.
- Drizzle blueberry puree over the whipped cream and fold cream and blueberry smooth together.
- Only fold a few times to end up with a beautifully marbled dessert. (NOTE 2)
- Transfer to 1 large or 2 small serving bowls.
Notes
- It is no must to pour the blueberry puree through a sieve, but it does give a smooth result. If you like a few crunches, by all means skip the step with the sieve.
- You can do the mixing in the serving bowl or in one large bowl and then scoop the dessert in smaller individual bowls.
